love goes a long way (part 2)

part 4

               Palette's pov

It's been almost a year since Pastel got kidnapped. Goth hardly eats, and according to mom, Ocean has been having a hard time coping with this. The police are on the case and so far, nothing.

           ???? Pov

I ran. I ran as soon as I left. I was excited to go home. Yet terrified. I don't know where I'm going, or when I'm going to get home.

I was running through the forest when I heard someone talking. Of course I changed course but the people already spotted me and started running after me.

Something hooked around my foot and almost caused me to trip. I didn't fall, but one of the people caught up to me. They grabbed me and tried to turn me around. I just flailed around until they dropped me. Of course I landed on a rock. I yelped.

As soon as I got up, I ran- until the person got me again. Grrr. And it's a good grip to.

"Let me go!"

"Nah"

He carried me over to a tree.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Pfft, like I'm telling!" I struggled more.

"Brother?~"

Someone else took me from him and used Gaster Blasters to climb high up and threatened to drop me. "Tell us you name."

"FINE! M-MY NAME IS PASTEL!"

"Heh." He got us down.

"Do you know Ocean?" He asked.

I perked up. "Yes! She's my best friend slash family member!" (Cousin?)

"Look at me"

I did. It was . . . INCUBUX?!?!

"Hi there!"

I hugged him. He tried to pry me off, but failed. He eventually hugged back. The other one, whom I found out was Nix, joined in.

"WILL YOU FRICKIN MARSHMALLOWS GET OFF?!" Incubux shouted.

"Nah."

"... Really?"

"Yes."

"Hey, Pastel?"

"Yeah?"

"Last one to town is a rotten egg!" He said as he jumped up.

"I don't know where it is."

"Oh. Then let's go!"

He led us out to the town and went to a neighborhood.

"TAG!" Nix said as he tagged me.

"Oh really?!" The game of tag started.

              Smol time skip.

As I was running from Incubux, I ran into someone. "Sorry! I wasn't paying attention!"

"It's alright, I don't mind."

I tried to help him up, but I fell on top of him.

"You good?"

I nodded. He helped us both up.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Time to go bother the police about my daughter."

"What happened?"

"S-she was kidnapped."

"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright. She'll return, hopefully."

"I'm sure she will! If she is determined enough, I'm sure she will be just fine!"

He chuckled, and thanked me for what I said and went on his way.

But he turned back towards me "Hey, by the way? How do you know how that can happen, that she'd return safely?"

"I may have met her. There was a small group that was also kidnapped. There were three girls, including myself, and four boys."

He asked me my name, but before I could answer, Incubux came and got me and Nix.

"Bye bye!" I told him as he waved back and left.

After a few hours, I told Incubux that I wanted to go home. But he said that he didn't know how to get to my house.

"We'll just go to my and Nix's house and ask either dad of father to call your parents."

"No need for that." Some one said as somthing picked up the three of us and held us upside down.

"Hey father." Incubux said.

"Hi Nightmare!" I told him.

"Hello." He answered as he proceeded to carry us to who knows where.

He put me down in front of a house and hugged me. He told me to have fun.

I knocked on the door.

"Did someone knock?" I heard someone ask as someone else answered that they would more than likely knock again if someone did knock. At that I knocked a little harder.

Mom opened the door and immediately knelt down with her arms open. I ran into the hug. Dad came to see what was going on and he joined in on the hug and after a while we went to sleep.

                 In the morning

I was able to clean up and go visit Ocean.

I knocked on the door and someone answered. "Hello?"

"Hey, can Ocean play."

"Just a sec. Ocean! One of your friends wants to play!"

"Coming." She sounded a bit sad.

As she was coming, he said that his name's Dust and that he was watching Ocean for her parents.

Ocean came down in a hoody and jeans. She looked at me and sqeeled and I sqeeled back.
"PASTEL?!"

"OCEAN!" We hugged for a long time and went to go get the other kids. Today is going to be a good day!
